When you think of beauty, do you just see it as something that makes your commute take much longer? If so, then you have a very narrow view of the subject. Beauty is so much more than that and it can be personalized so that it works with your own schedule. Read on to find out how.
You can camouflage an unsightly double chin by brushing on a swipe of rosy-brown powder blush along your jawline from your ears to your chin. Next, use a light, translucent powder on your natural chin and blend the entire area very well. This may take a bit of practice, but when done properly, it makes a noticeable difference.
If you are a balding man it may be time to try hair regrowth products. Many women find balding to be unattractive, and if you have the possibility to regrow your hair then it is worth the effort. Many of these products are not prohibitively expensive, so they are worth a try.
To help your eyeliner last all day, apply a thin layer of eyeshadow in a matching color over the top of it. Most eyeliners have a tendency to fade or run throughout the day. This is particularly true for oil-based eyeliner pencils. You can eliminate this problem by brushing a layer of matching eyeshadow directly over the top of the eyeliner using a thin makeup brush. This helps to set it so it stays in place all day.
To help keep your skin in good condition, try to use luke-warm water while bathing and showering. Your natural oils will escape if there is hot water on your pores. The water will wash the good oils away. Stick to warm or tepid water, which is much better for keeping your skin soft and hydrated. You will also save money on energy bills.
Do you get scratches or chips on your nails after painting them? Using a top coat can keep your nails looking good for a week. Just make sure to use a true top coat as this is different than a clear polish. Buy the top coat and not just clear polish.
If your hair is greasy or oily, an easy way to fix this if you don’t have time to wash it, is to use a bronzer compact or baby powder. Brunettes should carry bronzer compact and add to extra oily hair, and blondes should do the same with baby powder. This will temporarily hide your unwashed hair.
Want to hide your imperfections? Pink lipstick will do the trick. No, do not put the lipstick on the flaw itself, but a warm pink lipstick goes with every skin tone and draws the eye to your lips. If you apply your concealer correctly and have bright lips, no one will notice your imperfections.
Many makeup artists use the color pink to lead the eye away from any imperfections they don’t want to show. It takes away the appearance of acne and puffed up red eyes.
To get softer and sexier lips use a honey scrub! Take 3 drops of honey, and mix it with half a teaspoon of sugar. Apply the mixture liberally to your lips, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. When you wash it off, you’ll find your lips have gotten softer and may even look fuller.
If you have gorgeous eyelashes, it will help your appearance. Use your eyelash curler daily, prior to applying mascara. Using your eyelash curler will instantly create volume and attract attention to the eyes.
You can get the slightly dried makeup that collects in the cap of your makeup to double as an under-eye concealer. If you no longer have concealer but need some, use the makeup right under your foundation’s cap. It is the perfect concealer because it already matches your skin tone and is thick.
Use Vaseline on the outer edges of your eyes to make a shield. This will act as a waterproof barrier and will keep your makeup on around your eyes. This is especially good to use if you find your eyes are watery because of wind or any other factor.
To get the best results from your styling products, don’t apply them to soaking wet hair. The water in your hair will dilute the products, rendering them less effective. Before applying any products, remove as much excess water from your hair as you can. You’ll see a change in how your products work immediately.
To boost your hair’s shine when you wash it in the sink or shower, give it a final rinse under really cold water, if you can stand it. The cold water helps to seal the hair’s cuticle, making your tresses look smoother, shinier, and less frizzy than rinsing with hot water.
Regular massages will relax you and make you feel great. Getting a massage will improve circulation and remove some toxins from your body. Try to get a massage often to enjoy these different benefits.
Let’s say you love your foundation color, but as your skin matures, it doesn’t moisturize like it used to. Adding some moisturizer to your regular foundation will achieve two goals: One, you will have a tinted moisturizer which will give you a sheerer more natural color. Two, your skin will be better moisturized.
When you really want to look gorgeous, use fake eyelashes. This makes sense for weddings and special events. Adding eyelash extensions gives your eyes a younger, more lively look. The extensions will help you look your best on any special occasion.
After reading through all of that, do you still see beauty in the same way? Do you now see that it is so much more and that they are very simple things that you can add to your commute to help improve your appearance? It’s really not hard work and hours of getting ready. It’s, basically, whatever you make it.
